Objective To investigate the relationship between primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with multiple nodules and short-term recurrence after radical resection.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and follow-up of 692 consecutive HCC patients who underwent curative resection at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2000 to December 2011.The diagnosis of multiple nodules was based on preoperative imaging data and observations in operation.Results Of 692 HCC patients, 126 patients had multiple nodules (18.2％, the MN group) and 566 patients had a single nodule (71.8％, the SN group).The 1-, 2-, 5-, and 10-year overall survival (OS) rates were 86.5％,72.2％, 38.1％, and 23.2％ for the MN group, and 93.8％, 82.7％, 58.2％, and 35.7％ for the SN group, respectively (P ＜ 0.05).The 1-, 2-, 5-, and 10-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 68.6％, 46.8％, 27.2％, and 19.8％ for the MN group, and 80.2％, 62.1％, 42.0％, and 34.6％ for the SN group, respectively (P ＜ 0.05).Cox regression model analysis showed a maximum nodule diameter of ＞ 5 cm was an independent risk factor of short-term recurrence in the MN group.Conclusions The prognosis of HCC patients with multiple nodules after radical resection was poorer and the short-term recurrence rate was significantly higher than those patients with a single-nodule.A maximum nodal diameter of ＞ 5 cm was an independent risk factor of short-term recurrence for patients with multiple nodules after radical resection.Therefore, patients with multiple nodules, especially ＞ 5 cm, should be followed up closely and they are good candidates for a multiple disciplinary team (MDT) treatment.

Objective:Cluster and discriminant analysis of the morphological characters of Angle's Class Ⅱ malocclusion was performed using Procrusts standardization.The classification of craniofacial morphology with the help of morphometry and multivariate statistics was also discussed.Methods: A total of 894 class Ⅱ patients were collected from the orthodontic department,Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology during 1997-2000.Using Procrusts standardization and cluster analysis,the samples were divided into different groups,discrimination equations were then established.Results: The samples were divided into 11 subdivisions by Procrusts superimposition and cluster analysis.Three discrimination equations were established.The accuracy rate of cross-validated grouped cases was 80.17%.Conclusion: Procrusts standardization had certain advantages in morphological classification;cluster analysis could be used in classification of Angle class Ⅱ malocclusion;For different types,the differentiate rate was not the same;the discrimination equations was the foundation for future research.

OBJECTIVE To investigation central venous catheter-related infections(CRI) in critical patients. METHODS Fifty-nine cases from Jul 2006 to Jun 2007 in intensive care unit (ICU) of our hospital were analysed retrospectively. RESULTS Among 59 cases, 27 cases were with positive results of fungi (51.85%) and bacteria(48.15%) in which G+(25.93%) and G-(22.22%). CONCLUSIONS CRI is related to the indwelling time, fungi are the major pathogens. It is important to prevent CRI through careful nursing. We must pull out the catheters if recessary and antibiotics should be used reasonablly.

Objective To report the results of the surgical treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy(CSM) secondary to athetoid cerebral palsy and clarify the characteristics and the principle of treatment of the disease. Methods The age of the patient, segments of vertabrae involved and operated upon, results and complications of 32 cases with CSM secondary to athetoid cerebral palsy were statistically analyzed and compared with 93 patients who had isolate CSM operatively treated at the same time. Results 1)The average age of the patients in the group of CSM secondary to athetoid cerebral palsy was 37.94 years,and in the group of isolate CSM was 52.48 years, with significant statistic difference(P

Objective:To characterize the volatile compounds in 10 batches of disposable infusion sets and 6 batches of nasal can-nulas by GC-MS and determine the main odor-active compounds. Methods:The volatile components were extracted using a headspace sampler. An HP-5MS capillary column (30 m × 0. 25 mm,0. 25 μm) was adopted, and the qualitative analysis was performed by total ion chromatography ( TIC) of full scan with temperature programmer. Results:A total of 19 major volatile compounds were identified, which were hydrocarbon, alcohol and carbonyl compounds (such as aldehyde and ester). Based on the combination of odor test and GC-MS, the concentration of alcohol compounds (2-ethyl hexanol, 2-EH) had the most notable effect on the odor of samples. Conclu-sion:The samples with unacceptable order contain 2-EH with relatively high content, which should be paid more attention.

Aim To establish a hepatic carcinoma cell line with stable voltage-gated chloride channel 3 ( ClC-3 ) gene silencing through the lentivirus-mediated short-hairpin RNA ( shRNA ) method and investigate the effects of gene silencing on invasion and migration. Methods Three lentiviral vectors coding shRNA tar-geting ClC-3 gene were constructed, the recombinant plasmids were packaged into mature lentivirus by 293FT cells, and then the lentiviruses were harvested, concentrated and titrated. MHCC97H cells were infec-ted with the recombinant lentiviruses and then were se-lected to obtain cell lines stably expressing ClC-3 shR-NA. The efficiency of ClC-3 mRNA and protein ex-pression interference were determined by real-time flu-orescence quantitative PCR and Western blot, respec-tively. The effects of ClC-3 gene interference on inva-sion and migration of MHCC97 H cells were performed by Transwell chamber assays with or without Matrigel and cell scratch assay. Results The recombinant lentiviral vectors were successfully constructed and four lentiviruses were acquired after packaged by 293 FT cells. One negative control cell line and three cell lines with ClC-3 gene interference ( MHCC97 H/shClC-3-1 , shClC-3-2 and shClC-3-3 ) were successfully construc-ted after MHCC97 H cells were infected with lentivirus-es. The expression level of ClC-3 mRNA and protein in three ClC-3-silenced cells were obviously lower than the negative control cells ( P <0. 01 ) , MHCC97 H/shClC-3-2 cells showed the greatest inhibition of ClC-3 mRNA and protein expressions. As compared with the negative control cells, the ClC-3 gene interference sig-nificantly decreased invasion and migration of MH-CC97 H cells in vitro ( P <0. 01 ) . Conclusion The hepatic carcinoma cell lines with stable ClC-3 gene si-lencing were successfully established and the ClC-3 gene interference could significantly inhibit invasion and migration of MHCC97H cells.
